This side dish of potato is flavoured with fenugreek leaves, as well as a variety of other spices to develop a spicy flavour profile. Aloo Methi is a punjabi delicacy popular in all North Indian restaurants. Each household have developed their own version and this is my version of making this delicious curry using homegrown methi leaves.
